No label defined (Q4025970)

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0745.00060.] Let \(A\) be an Abelian variety of dimension \(g\), embedded in a projective space. Let \(\Gamma\) be a finite subset of \(A\) with \(0\in\Gamma\). Let \(P\) be a homogeneous polynomial of degree \(D\), which is not identically 0 on \(A\), but vanishes at all points \(s_ 1+\cdots+s_ g\) with \((s_ 1,\dots,s_ g)\in\Gamma^ g\). Then there exists an Abelian subvariety \(B\) of \(A\) such that \(B\neq A\) and \[ \text{Card}((\Gamma+B)/B)\cdot\deg B\leq\deg A\cdot D^{\dim(A/B)}. \] This improves a zero estimate due to \textit{P. Philippon} [Bull. Soc. Math. Fr. 114, 355-383 (1986; Zbl 0617.14001) and 115, 397-398 (1987; Zbl 0634.14001)]. Also the author removes an assumption of projective normality which occurred in Philippon's multiplicity estimate. The new ingredient in the proof is an upper bound for a degree where arguments from commutative algebra are now replaced by intersection theory.
